F.O.T.W

 

There he is again/searching...

for me - the object of his disdain/

his bete noire

 

Looking at him through the facets of my vision...

- He is a hulking one of them

 

The ones who seek to cut off my already

truncated life

 

Swish! a swift and practiced mano

takes aim

 

Lo Mein from last night's relvelry

my launch to escape

 

....too evasive...

 

Yet, my aggravation is apparent -

if only to myself

 

Agitated setae sit stilly upon a

bottled back

 

Nonetheless, I take this latest attack

in stride....An insignificant setback in this

current battle between he and I/between I

and them

 

Since this is a constant struggle/one that has

probably been going on since the inception of time...

 

I profoundly ponder past assualts from

whilom ages

 

Is this the Genocide that my brothers from

another phylum speak of through the whisper mill?

 

For, I am also Black, but very

uncomely/I am Black, but the sun

has not made me so...

 

No!...

 

I have attained my shape, size, and melanin

through the evolutionary hand of creation

 

Still, do I deserve to procreate,

to be fruitful and multiply?

 

Each day my numbers diminish

and nobody questions why?

 

Yet, every attempt to exterminate my existence

is met with a well executed jete

 

Since hardly anyone is successful the first time

 

I then let the momentum carry me high

and away/until I once again become a

negroid speck on a drab canvas

 

....A canvas that only I can bring color to...

 

...F.O.T.W?...

 

 

Fly On The Wall
